data-start=\"409\" data-end=\"443\">Step 2: Decorate Your Reindeer<\/strong><\/p><ul><li data-start=\"115\" data-end=\"194\">Overlap and stick the two paper circles together to form the

nose.<\/li><li data-start=\"115\" data-end=\"194\">Create a scarf by drawing and cutting it from coloured paper, or use a small ribbon for a 3D effect, and glue it around the reindeer&#8217;s neck.<\/li><li data-start=\"115\" data-end=\"194\">Make the antlers by drawing and cutting them from brown or black paper, then attach them to the top of the reindeer&#8217;s head.<\/li><li
